Hi, I'm Brooke!

I'm a Grand Rapids, MI photographer specializing in birth photography and family photojournalism. I like to teach other women how to use their DSLRs to photograph their families, too. I believe in the power of beauty and the beauty of the raw and ordinary.

walter solomon entered the world of light and air on Sunday morning, march 29th.

his birth was short, intense but manageable, allowing me to be very present and very aware. i was surrounded by incredible love and support from my family, dear friends, and amazing midwives. i really couldn't ask for more.

amy carroll photographed his birth story and did it beautifully (all images of his birth in the brief slideshow below are hers).

these last 5 weeks we've been snuggling lots, around the clock, recovering from the physical demands of birth, and adjusting to being a family of 5 (it's a wild ride).
